Amen to that! But I am really loving what I have gotten to do, and have so many ideas that I want to get made, rather than having them floating around in my already crowded head! And it doesn't really help when your local support group (otherwise known as 'DH') thinks they are 'strange and wierd'. "Real quilts" are made from patterns his grandmother used. LOL!

Well...I tried to play around with some "modern" blocks to do instead of the hexes and this is what I have come up with so far. Not thrilled yet so I will continue to think of different things. I like the one in the top left corner. The third one over on the top row is my second choice. I don't like the other two I did but they may end up on the back.

Nice blocks Jeannie! You did a great job on designing blocks that fit with the rest! The top left is my favorite
